I think that the only person that loves me and cares about me is myself ... sometimes I feel like guys only want to play mind games with me and after I actually like them ... they ignore me and never cared about me in the first place ... maybe the only person I can trust is myself ... maybe that is why I feel like no one will actually see the real me and inside my heart or what the shape of it is because there isn't someone out there for me ... and that's why I am so insecure about falling in love again."

At least for a while." - Mr. Maybe by Jane Green

I'm sick of being the kind of girl who, when they say jump, asks how high. I'm sick of always, always being the one to fall in love and get hurt. And maybe this is how it should be, getting on with my life and not putting all my energies into a relationship." - Mr. Maybe by Jane Green

"I guess I'm giving up on love 'cause it really kind of sucks." - the ataris, "giving up on love"
"'if you ask why i'm not interested in someone, i might say their nose is too big, or they don't know how to dress, or they're too thin or too fat or too plain. but the truth is, i only notice those things because of the real reason--that i'm just not feeling anything. but people don't want to hear that. they always want an explanation. so i have to come up with something concrete even though feelings aren't like that. if i did meet a guy and i felt happy with him for whatever reason, i wouldn't give a rat's ass what he wore or how tall he was or what he did for a living. but when i'm with someone and it just doesn't feel right, that's when i start noticing the bad haircut or Chicago accent or unibrow. and it's true that tomorrow i may go home with someone who you think is totally wrong for me. and the next day i might meet a perfectly nice guy who you think i should feel excited about, but i don't. but if i do go home with someone, it means for a change, something feels right. for a change, i'm feeling hopeful. i just want to feel happy when i'm with someone. is that so wrong?'" - starting from square two by caren lissner
